pie Cuban Assembly met here yesterday with" Gen. Callxto Garcia as temporary chairman. Owlnj to difficulties of transportation sotn of th Deputies from th different corps of the Cuban army wer unable to be present The assembly accordingly adjourned until such time as a quorum could be present, which will probably not be before October SL QUESTIONS TO BE SETTLED. Disbanding of the Army Not tha Only Weighty Issne, Santiago, Cuba. Oct.

23. The- election of Gen. Garcia as Permanent President of the Cuban Assembly Is considered a foregone conclusion, aa It Is conceded' that be controls a majority of the dele-rates. The Cespedes faction is defeated. Its leaders now deny that tbey had any desire to discredit Gen.

Garcia, and the attempt to impeach him before the Assembly probably will not be made. 1 The principal question for consideration will be that of disbanding the army. It is thought the Assembly will oppose disbanding until in the words of one of the military delegates "some assurance Is received from President McKInley that be Intends to observe the resolutions of the United States Congress re garding; the absolute freedom of Cuba. It being a military assembly, the an nexation party has but a small representation. One proposition to come up for discussion is that the army should remain an armed force for the purpose of policing and garrisoning the Island from the beginning of next, year, when the United States troops are expected to leave.

The Assembly will appoint a commit- tee to wait upon President McKInley- regarding the status of Cuba, consisting probably of Garcia, Queseda and Parra- a-ua. and It Is sale to assume that the Assembly will remain in session and the army in any event not be disbanded until the report of the committee is re ceived. Owlnr to the scardtv of food and wi ter, however, the Assembly probably will move after a few sessions to Mariano. Tour States Proposed. Another proposition to be brought before the delegates Is the division of Cuba Into four States, to be called Orient, now the province of de Cuba; Cam- guey.

now the province of Puerto Principe; Laa Villas, now the province of Santa Clara, and Occident, now the provinces of Matansas, Havana and Pt- nar del Rio. Between the proposed States of Cama-guey and Las Villas would be a space of land which would be a special federal district or territory, where the capital would be built a new inland town for this sneclflc purpose. A delegate will propose the trial by court-martial of all ottlcers In the Cuban army who have permitted their men to be disbanded. In these ways and others the Assembly Intends to show the world that It considers the Americans merely temporary visitors who will evacuate the Isl and shortly after the Spaniards. TAVOBS THE AMERICANS.

Manuel Sanguilly On of the Leading Assembly Delegates. Havana, Oct, 15. Manuel Sangullly, author and orator, who was a distin guished soldier -In the ten years war, will represent the Second, Third and Fifth corps of the Cuban army at the Cuban assembly convened to consider the establishment of a. permanent Cuba Government. His choice by these troops.

Including the Holguin. Tunas, liayamo, Manxanillo, -Camaguey, Ma- tansaa and Havana dtvlstoua, is highly significant as Indicating the sentiment of a large number of the Cubans now under arms. SanguiUy, who Is a Cuban of the Cubans and an extreme radical, has made several speeches of late that have caused a profound sensation, in which he has urged upon the Cubans the Imperative necessity of placing full confidence In the United States Government, and has censured those wno nave shown distrust of the Americans. He has advocated the dlsbandment of the Cuban troops nd their return to tne aria ot peace, dwelling long and earnestly upon the Importanoe of the Cubans securing the confidence of the United States, lie even went so far as to declare that if the Cuban revolutionary leaders should assume a hostile attitude toward the Americans be would enter the ranks ot those opposed to such a course. His selection at this Juncture, and In view cf such sentiments, indicates that a ra tional judgment is making headway in certain quarters.

Eight Hundred At Manila To Be Transported At Spain's Expense, Washington, Oct. 25. The following rable message has been received at the War Department: -Manila. Oct. 24.

Adjutant General. Washington: Spanish transport ship ex-twscted to arrive to-morrow from liarce. I I ZM wishes to. transport to Spain 800 of the Spanish prisoners of war now hwe. This would relieve situation Shall permission be given? This message waa answered In the OUT AGAIN.

(Continued From First Page.) Thursday, when the Court of Cassation vri'l meet, there will be a renewal of the uproar. "It looks as though M. Brlssoh gave up in disgust a position which yielded him neither pleasure nor greatness. Nobody has any Idea who will succeed htm. unless, perhaps M.

Faure knows, for he Is alleged to have instigated the overthrow of the Cabinet. DREYFUS THE SNAO. Chanoine the Third War Minister to Resign, On His Account. Paris, Oct. Gen.

Chanoine Is the fifth Minister of War who has declared himself absolutely convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus and the third who has resigned on that account, His totally Inexplicable and unexpected action waa certainly the chief sensation In a day of sensational events. He dealt a vert-table coup de Jarnao to the Cabinet and precipitated a new struggle between the military and civil authorities. Yesterday (Tuesday) was the first time Gen. Chanoine ever sat on the ministerial bench, and his colleagues, knowing that he was unaccustomed to the tricks of oratorical effects, such as M. De Roulede Indulged In.

tried vainly to prevent him ascending the tribune. He spoke briefly with painful Incoherence and then literally bolted from the chamber. The scenes that followed were almost Indescribable. When Brissoa appeared In the tribunal he was received with Insults and Imprecations from all sides, but he stood his ground calmly. A lady who was leaving the gallery after the adjournment, on being asked by a Deputy how she enjoyed It all, replied: "Immense.

Wasn't It delicious? So much better than the Cotnedle Franchise." replied the Deputy, "and this la only the beginning." It la said that President Faure declined to receive Gen. Chanoine when the latter called at the Elysee after bolting from the Chamber. M. Faure sent out word that he could only receive Chanoine' resignation through M. Brlsson.

In a subsequent Interview between M. Faure and M. Brlsson It waa agreed that the portfolio of War could only be intrusted to a civilian In order to assert the subordination of the military authorities." Even now It la difficult to state clearly why the Ministry resigned, but there is a very general belief that It was In order to avoid If possible serious street demonstrations fomented by M. De-roulede and Drumont, who have been the heroes of the night's proceedings. Altogether some 250 arrests have been made.

Nothing la now beard about Fashoda, but tt la regarded as extremely probable that the Cabinet crisis will be utilised to put M. Hanotaux back In the Foreign Office. M. MeHne is also mentioned as a possible new Premier to succeed the retiring Brlsson, who had succeeded him, MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS Kept Up the Hullabaloo Begun Earlier In the Evening. Paris, Oct.

Is. 1 a. m. About midnight a -mob of members of the Patriotic League smashed the windows and glass staircase of a shop whose owner la said to be a Jew, at the corner of the Rue Aberandt and Rue Scribe. The Vigilance Committee of the Socialist party issued to-night a manifesto condemning the action of Gea.

Chanoine and denouncing the "make-believe Republicans who have strangled debate In the Chamber and created a crisis." The committee has decided to organ-i2e all the socialists and revolutionary Republican forces In the country against "military and clerical reaction." M. Faure has received no statesmen to-night, but will consult, this morning (Wednesday) with the presidents of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. TIME EXTENDED. By January 1 the Spaniards Must Have Quit Cuba. Washington, Oct 15.

At the Cabinet meeting to-day the situation In Cuba was gone over for the information of those members who did not see the Pres ident yesterday. It was explained that the time limit for the evacuation of the Island had been extended from December 1 to January 1. and that the United States would assume control of the Government of the several cities and provinces aa fast as they were evacuated by the Spaniards, but no faster. Havana probably will be the last of the cities to remove its troops, and the last to surrender civil control to the United States. This, however, must be accomplished by the first of January.

The question of relation that Porto Rico shall bear to the general Government of the United States is receiving the careful consideration of the president and the members of the Cabinet. The question of a change In the currency system of the Inland, the customs and Internal revenue laws, suffrage and many other Incidental, but highly important subjects are now under consideration, and probably will be treated upon at some length in the President's forthcoming message to Congress. It is not unlikely that Congress will be asked to pass some needed general legislation respecting the temporary government of the island with a recommendation that a committee be appointed to con-alder, with more deliberation than Is possible in a short session of Congress, all of the questions Involved and make a report at a future time. Nothing of a disquieting nature has been heard from our Peace Commission at Paris, the contention of the Span-lards that the United States should assume the Cuban debt or any other Spanish obligation, beyond the recognition as valid of the municipal obligations of Havana and possibly other Cuban cities is received here with perfect equanimity. Such a proceedure la out of the question, as our commissioners knew before they left Washington.

HEROES Of the Navy Honored At Philadelphia. A GREAT DEMONSTRATION. SPLENDID NAVAL KEVTEW LED BT SECBJETABT LONG. A CIVIC DISPLAY TO-MORROW. Philadelphia, Oct 25.

Philadelphia lifted Its hand and doffed the nation's hat to Its naval heroes to-day. Nominally It was the active operating of the peace Jubilee. Actually It was a thunderous greeting of prslse. welcome and thanks to a puissant armada and the men who swept it on to unchallenged victory. The most Illustrious acton of the war whoa glorious end la the motive of the celebration learned what their country thicks of them.

Slgsbee, Philip, Evans, Wainwright were some of the men. The Texaa, the Gloucester, the Wins-low, the Mayflower these were soma of the ships. The Government waa represented by Secretary of the Navy Long, the people by a throng that filled every bit of Umber on either snore of the Delaware river and Jammed every available craft to the point of danger. The marine pageant waa one of surpassing brilliancy and grandeur. The Naval Parade.

To-day's naval review waa the opening of the festival, which will continue until Thursday night, and consisted of a procession of vessels around the anchored warships, but that bare statement conveys no Idea of the demon stration. The yacht May, with Secretary Long and the Washington party on board. led the parade, the ships of the navy being anchored In single file In mldV stream, the line extending from Chris tian to Hanover streets, a distance of three miles. Arrived off League Island, the southern extremity of the city, the May found the Una of reviewing vessels waiting. Shs promptly swung front, and at o'clock the parade began to move along the Jersey aide of the anchored war ships, which lay about a thousand yard distant from each other.

In this order Columbia, Mayflower, New Orleans, Marblehead. Dolphin. Topeka, Gloucester and Wlnslow. The Kasagl lay at the northern end of the Una off Cramp's snip-yard, where ah was recently built Aa the procession moved, river ai shore were one flaring mass of colors.

Wttb the beginning or tne saiute came tne bugle and arum salute from the ships. Before th echoes of the first shot had been swallowed uo by the boom of the second, a veritable pandemonium of whistles, smaller guns and the roar of the crowds broke out and continued -throughout the proces sion. The Texas, the Gloucester and the Wlnslow receleved the greatest share 01 enthusiasm.

The Kasagt's officers and men were lined up like the Americans and saluted the Secretary quite-as well, but as her guns are at Armstrong's in England the salute waa a silent one. A thousand yards beyond the Kasagl the llneof revlewlngvesselsswunground and proceeded down the river along the Pennsylvania shore. The trip down was merely a continuation of the enthusiasm and clamor minus the guns of the warships. When the Texaa waa again reached, the May waa brought to a standstill, and at the invitation of Cora modore Philip and Capt Slgsbee, the party went over In launcnee t.o tne battleship.

Mayor Warwick proposed the health of Secretary Long and called upon, him for a response. He did so very briefly-, thanking the Mayor for his words of welcome and Commodore Philip and Capt 81gsbee for their courtesy to him as their guest Mayor Warwick then spoke a few words In praise of the Texaa and pro-' posed a toast to Commodore Philip, paying tribute not' only to his heroism, but to his humanity. In silencing the cheera of his crew while the vanquished Span-lards were perishing.

"Heroic and humane, he concluded, "such a race can never be overcome. Commodore Philip replied with a few words of thanks, and then Capt Slgsbee waa called upon. He spoke on the gratification to him by the universal sympathy for the Maine, but asked to be excused from speaking of the ship, "Some time I may say bow I feel about the Maine, but not at this time." This ended the Texss reception and Secretary Long and his party returned to the May, the battleship repeating the salute aa they left The May waa phomptly steamed over to her dock to give the Secretary time to catch the train for Boston. Apart from the naval pageant this city passed a busy day preparing for civic display and receiving Incoming troops for the- military pared a on Thursday.

Press bsa already declared on high authority to be untrue. Continuing, the Gaulols affirms that the Spaniards are delaying a solution of the Cuban debt question until after the elections In the United States, "expecting then to get better terms." adding that it fears Spain does not perceive the advantages possible to her from the electoral situation In the United States. TWO NIGHT CABINET MEETINGS. Belief bat Mora Instructions Are To Ba Cent To Mr.

Day. Washington, Oct 25. Special. Two Important meetings of the Cabinet were held to-night at the White House. Following the session of the Cabinet this morning, the usual Tuesday meeting, they naturally gave rise to-' night to wild reports to the effect that an ultimatum had been sent to Mr.

It waa for this reason that three meeting of the Cabinet were held to-day, and. It la said that besides considering the work of the Peace Commission, questions relating to the military evacuation of Cuba and pro-testa made by Spain against the dispatch of the Iowa and Oregon and troops to Manila were also considered. Upon the conclusion ot the meetings, the officials declined to discuss the matter, that had been under consideration.

The first meeting this morning was at tended by all the members who are In town. At that held at 4 o'clock four members were In attendance, and at the third, held at 9. six were present It is expected that additional Instructions will be given to Mr. Day and his aaa dates. It Is not meant' by this, that any ultimatum haa been or will ba ca-i bled to Paris.

It Is known, however. that the President la very much exer cised over the action of the Spanish commissioners in repeatedly attempting to foist the Cuban debt on the United States, and at the "manana policy they are pursuing In order to delay the discussion of th disposition, govern ment and control of the Philippines until after the elections, believing that the voters will show that they are opposed to territorial expansion. The reports received from the Havana commissioners, showing that th Span ish representatives are moving what Gen. Wad and his colleagues regard aa Immovable property and are selling it have also angered the President and stringent instructions have been sent to the American commissioners to positively forbid any such action In the tu tor. -A Cabinet officer told ma.

Oct 25. Special Cable. (Delayed In Transmission.) Hitherto has been understood here that both President McKInley and Mr. Hay had given word, previous to the sign lng of the protocol, that the sovereignty of Spain would be retained over th Philippines. The Impartial, a leader this morning, reflect pretty well th general opinion.

It says: "Advices received from Paris, Washington and Porto Rico show that the Americans treat us worse than any other victors ever treated th vanquished. Th Yankee nation does not know how to preserve the dignity of the victor. It is the sad fate ot Spain that our generosities and our greatnesses have come to be trodden under foot by a race which. In the midst of th splendor of civilisation, retains Intact barbarous savagery of primitive times." In spit of all th effort of the Regent a ministerial crisis seems Imminent Already there Is talk of an ad Interim ministry under VeJa de Arml-Jo.

THIS OCCURS AT HEYBACH'S. In Bar-Boom At Fifth and Hirer Two Desperadoes Eject Patrons and Fight Proprietor. THEN THEY BOB A PEDESTBIAH. A stir waa caused In police circles laat night by the operations of darln-r robbers, who, with drawn pistols, robbed two saloons In the central portion of the city and later forced a pedes trian to give, up his gold watch and era! dollars In money. The three robberies occurred before o'clock last evening.

George Heybach's saloon, on First street near Water, and Michael McCue's barroom, on Fifth street near the river, suffered. Thomas Vogel, a fisherman, encountered two of th men on the Kentucky and Indiana railroad track between Seventh and Eighth streets, and was robbed of his watch and money, One Man Bluffs Three. Jake Fix was the bartender on watch at George Heybach's saloon, at First street and th river, at 8:15 o'clock last evening, when the first hold-up took Place. Fix waa behind the bar dispensing drinks to two men, both of whom wer known to him by sight being reg ular customers, Npne of the three thought anything of It when the front door was heard to open. They wer paralysed with astonishment however, when they turned and observed a grim- looKing man entering with a pistol in his hand.

"GUI" he said, pointing the weapon at tne group. On of th patrons Immediately left, but th other for some reason waa slow to go. The man with the Dlstol seised him by the shoulder and poked th Dls tol In bis face. Th patron wilted per- cepnniy. "Stand up straight" said the robber.

who then gave the Individual a shove ouc or tne front door. Th Intruder had never taken hi eye off Fix. The work of ejecting the two customers had taken but a moment Holding th pistol at Fix. tha robber went swiftly around the end of th bar and raked up th change In the cash drawer. Then he backed rapidly out at the side door of the saloon, kemlnv Fix covered.

That waa the. last seen ot mm in that vicinity. Th robber got between HO and $13 at tnia haul. Fix was so worked up over th occurrence that he was nerv ous for hours afterward. He says be was taken completely by surprise.

The two men wno were in the saloon when th robber entered returned in th course of half an hour to see how the an air naa turned out. Mr. Heybach la assured that neither of them bad any connection with the robbery. While the hour was early for such a robbery, the saloon la quit Isolated on account ot a ten-foot bank of earth filling the street from the aewer repair excavation. Beside, there were ground-glass doors at the front and side entrances to the saloon, which prevented any chanoe passer-by from seeing th robbery.

Moreover, the hold-up was so quickly and daringly accomplished that nuia ui uu men in me saloon could gauier ms wit in time to prevent tt Bold Work At McCue's. Two men entered McCue's saloon about 8:40 o'clock. McCu and his brother John wer behind the bar. and two strangers were talking In the front of the saloon. Th robbers were cool and self-possessed, and.

drawing their revolvers, ordered th two strangers from the place. "Get out of here or we'll blow your brains out cried one of the men. The strangers were frightened out of their wits, and lost no time in mak ing their escape. They did not finish drinking their beer, and forgot to get the change which waa due them. The McCue brothers anticipated trouble and prepared themselves for a fight Th robbers walked over to th bar, and.

after casting several searching glance over the room to make sure that there were no other Intruders, sternly commanded McCu to give them all tha money In the cash register. "We want all you've got and we want It quick." said one of the men. gruffly. "You can't get any money here," spoke up McCue. "I guess we can," replied the robber.

With that he fired a shot at MoCue which graced his head and burled Itself in th wall near where he was standing. The McCue were unarmed, but tbey were not to be bluffed. They seized everything in sight Including bot tle, lemon-queexer and other saloon utensils, and hurled them at the heads of the two robber, a desperate fight ensued for at least two minutes. While one of the men waa arannllns- John McCue Michael was knocked to the floor. Hi pockets were searched and robbed of seventy-five cents In change The robbers knew that they were pitted against the wrong men.

and ran from tne saloon without securing the money in the cash register. Vogel's Adventure. It Is supposed that tbey made their way down the river, for fifteen minutes later it was reported that Thomas Voget had been robbed. The men met him on the Kentucky and Indiana tracks between Seventh and Eighth streets, and demanded him to deliver over his valuable. Vogel first refused, but submitted when the men flashed their re-votvers and threatened to shoot him.

Vogel gave the highwaymen a gold watch valued at $2 and $3.85 in money. They then told him to run or they would "fix him." One of the men was six feet la height and weighed about 170 pounds. The other was not so tall and did not weigh more than 130 pounds. They were roughly dressed and appeared to be tramps. Chief of Detectives Sullivan detailed his whole force of men on the case, but late last night had found no trace of the robbers.

The reply to this invitation was about as hot a missive aa has passed through Postmaster Baker's hands since he got into office through his political boss' grace, and It was through a source not far from the big stone building at the corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets that the Information about the correspondence between these two Republican dignitaries waa obtained. If the story of Col. Evans' close friend be true and It Is not to be supposed that his friend would tell a base falsehood about auch a matter the Governor used some of the most stinging words In his vocabulary In telling Col.

Evans why he would not speak for him. During the senatorial race at Frankfort a prominent Louisville Republican went to the Governor and asked If he would, be for Evans for Senator If Dr. Hunter got off the track. The Governor replied that he certainly would not oppose Evans, who. when given the answer, said that he "had no confidence In Bradley and would not trust him." This Invitation from the Colonel Tor Gov.

Bradley to speak here was the first opportunity he had had to "come back at him. and he did It good and strong. It la not probable that Cot Evana will give out the letter for publication. Is 2tr. Long th Treasurer Mr.

George W. Long, who waa elected State Treasurer in 1895, paased through th city to-night on his way to Leltch-Held, his home. He baa been absent from Frankfort nearly all the summer, and even some of the Republicans here In Louisville are asking the question. Is Long still the State Treasurer? He haa been engaged nearly all summer In building several bouses and promoting private enterprises at Leitchfleld, leaving the duties of his office to be performed by others. Occasionally he visits Frankfort draws his salary and walks through his office.

He thanked them for their co-operation in the plans for the Improvement of business In Santiago, and said he would give an early reply. The plan Is excellent, as the result would be a yearly increasing revenue for necessary Improvements, outsliin other funds which will be used for public works. Gen.
